Let us open up a story of how things used to be in the places of confluence.

They had spirit. They had moxie – that’s Shanghai 1930s jazz slang for energy and now that was a city that absorbed.

China is bordered by fourteen other countries. China is a sponge. It soaks up culture.

Kong begins in London and London is famous also for soaking up culture.

We remember 18th and 19th-century Chinese immigrants in London’s Limehouse. Far from home and pioneering new ways. A thousand ways of being resourceful.

They came to London and they made London’s culture bigger. And tastier.

We remember how the Old Friends Restaurant, the country’s first takeaway, and Soho’s Chinatown in the 1950s were bringers and creators of new energy and delights.

And then came the Chinese pub-cafes that went before us. When the old loved pubs fell empty there were always new people with different ideas to serve.

The Chinese restaurant owners stepped up. Very British, very London atmosphere with added flavourful Chinese dishes.

An eating-out Chinese pub-cafe adventure for many people. Kong is humble before the past. Kong is facing forward very certainly.

Kong begins in Folgate Street. The energy of a junction. A thousand years of change under our beer-pumps and kitchens. A place of confluence for centuries.
